Chapter 354: Historic Heritage Seeking Support)

All the worlds are peaceful!

A peaceful and prosperous era!

During the 21st year of the Ming Dynasty, not only ordinary people thought so, but even old ministers like Gu Yanwu thought so.

Indeed, according to traditional views, the Ming Dynasty can now be called a peaceful and prosperous era with peace and prosperity in the world. Almost anyone has reason to believe this. After all, what people see is a prosperous era of people living and working in peace. Even the most demanding people will say, "Today's prosperity and prosperity of the Shenzong." In the memory of many people, the Ming Dynasty in the Shenzong era was the most prosperous. The saying "The prosperity and prosperity of the Shenzong" is undoubtedly the highest evaluation of the Xinggan Dynasty.

But for Zhu Mingzhong, he never relaxed because of this kind of evaluation. Even in his opinion, the world has not yet reached the so-called "peace of all seas".

"The world is peaceful..."

Shaking his head, Zhu Mingzhong looked into the distance and said.

"Ningren, you are wrong. Now is not a peaceful era..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanwu couldn't help but feel shocked.

"Why, the court is going to use troops again?"

The court is about to use troops again!

He nodded slightly and turned his eyes on Gu Yanwu, then Zhu Mingzhong said.

"It's not that you're going to use troops again, but that some problems must be solved!"

"Your Majesty is referring to the Qing barbarians?"

Thinking of the court's continuous immigration to Xinjiang to Xinjiang and the construction of railways in recent years, Gu Yanwu nodded and said.

"Qing Captains, it's really time to solve it. When they are resolved, the world will be peaceful."

"It's so peaceful!"

Shaking his head and sighed, Zhu Mingzhong continued.

"There are still some problems in Tibet and Qinghai. Although the Hoshuo Special tribe controls Tibet and Qinghai, the relationship between Sang Jiejiacuo in Tibet and the Marxist tribe of the Mongolian Hoshuo Special tribe is tense, so he intends to expel the Hoshuo Special tribe from Tibet. The conflict between them will only become more and more intense. When the conflict between the two sides intensifies to a certain extent, they can use troops there. Now they are all trying to get our support..."

When talking about the problem of Tibet, the changes in history made the problem of Tibet change. In another time and space, Sang Jiejiacuo planned to expel the Heshuote tribe from Tibet through the Galdan of the Junggar. In this time and space, the defeat of the Junggar not only changed the history of Tibet, but even Mongolia also changed. Without the invasion of the Junggar, the strength of the four outer Mongolia tribes did not suffer a devastating blow, but they have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and all they have left is the problem of slowly training.

Zhu Mingzhong also held the same attitude towards Tibet and Qinghai, determining the sovereignty through enthronement, and then slowly training them with the help of civil strife, and eventually, they became provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

"So, does Your Majesty intend to use troops to Tibet and Qinghai in the future?"

Out of his understanding of Your Majesty, Gu Yanwu knew that Your Majesty would sooner or later use troops to Qinghai and Tibet. Everyone has their own persistence, and Your Majesty also has his persistence.

"Your Majesty, I remember, you once said that you would build a large territory for the Ming Dynasty, which is enough for future generations to live in. I don't know how big this territory should be in your heart?"

Gu Yanwu's problem made Zhu Mingzhong lose his mind.

How big should this territory be?

To be honest, Zhu Mingzhong never thought that like the later generations, he had a deep desire for the country, but while he was eager, he also maintained a little rationality. For example, on issues such as Southeast Asia, Australia, North America and other regions, he never considered to include it as a local or overseas province of the empire, but instead allowed his descendants to establish their own country there in the form of feudalism.

Of course, those countries are all members of China and the Imperial Conference. Their future will be part of the empire, but there is no shortage of competition between countries, and only competition can lead to the development of civilization. On the contrary, civilizations without competition often have no future, and this is the reason why Zhu Mingzhong decided to enfeoff.

But what else?

How big will the empire be?

Zhu Mingzhong did not consider this issue. However, in his subconscious, he also had his own plans for the future Ming Empire, such as the crown of the Byzantine Empire and the crown of the Balkans. Who knows?

Perhaps the future Ming Dynasty, in addition to the feudalization, can also follow the example of Egypt and put a string of European crowns on the head of the Ming Dynasty prince. Apart from that, where will the Ming Dynasty stop?

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Mingzhong said.

"I think it is not me who can determine all this, but other countries!"

"Is it another country?"

Gu Yanwu said in confusion.

"That's right, for example, Japan, now our attitude towards Japan is to support him to continue to lock the country. I am happy to see a closed-door Japan and willing to see them live in their own world. Maybe one hundred years, two hundred years, three hundred years, or even four hundred years later, Japan will continue to implement the lockdown order under our protection. What will Japan at that time provide us?"

Thinking of that Japan, Zhu Mingzhong smiled.

"Maybe, it will provide our scholars with an opportunity to study human life phenomena in the 17th century. At that time, Japan might be the reserve of human historical civilization..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Mingzhong thought of the Bo tribe of the Andaman Islands in another world. They were self-reliant, but isolated from the world and knew nothing about the outside world. They kept visitors away and locked themselves in it. They were the last Neolithic tribe in the world. The world was also kind-hearted. According to the law, anyone within 5 nautical miles of these islands is illegal. People try every means to protect the most vulnerable tribe on the earth. For Japan, Zhu Mingzhong can also use the same kindness to keep them in their own world.

"In the future, maybe I will issue some laws to isolate the Japanese from the world and live in their paradise! This is my kindness!"

After emphasizing his kindness, Zhu Mingzhong's tone suddenly changed.

"But if they open the country's door, even if it poses a slight threat to the Ming Dynasty, I will send troops immediately and completely occupy Japan. This is true for Japan, and the same is true for other countries. They can choose to be friends, or enemies, and treat friends with courtesy and keep goodwill. But if they dare to offend the Ming Dynasty, as enemies, they must completely eliminate it, destroy its country, destroy its history, adopt its territory, and teach its people!"

Your Majesty is cold and has almost no emotion. In Gu Yanwu's ears, he believes that Your Majesty is not joking. He believes that if there is a country that dares to offend the Ming Dynasty, then what awaits them is probably not just the destruction of the country and the destruction of the clan.

"Your Majesty, you are so confident. Will our army win?"

Although this kind of problem is very taboo, Gu Yanwu still couldn't help blurting out and looked at His Majesty and said.

"Your Majesty, when we go to a foreign country, our soldiers will fight on a completely unfamiliar land. The people there not only have a very different appearance from our Han people, but also have very different customs. They have their own culture and language. Even if we conquered their country, how could they willingly follow the Ming Dynasty? Follow the Ming Dynasty's education?"

“Yes.”

Zhu Mingzhong said without hesitation.

"We can do what the Nanyang Xia can do, too!"

"It's different. The local natives are backward and ignorant in civilization. The so-called "country" is often just a large tribe of native countries, and natives often have no concept of state. The Xia enters as an educated person and educates the natives. In the end, the country recognized by the natives is the Xia, not the local countries."

Looking at His Majesty, Gu Yanwu explained what he was worried about. In recent years, he has been studying all this, and his experience in Nanyang made him very clear about the differences between the natives of Nanyang and the people of other countries.

"Your Majesty, when we go west from the Western Regions, there are European countries, and Persia and other countries. The people in these places have their own customs and habits. Moreover, over the past thousand years, their orthodox views of the country have been formed. Perhaps our Ming Dynasty official army can defeat them on the battlefield and destroy their countries. However, if we try to make them believe in the holy religion and learn Chinese characters, they will inevitably arouse their resistance. Just as the Han people could have been willing to die to preserve their clothes and clothes, the people of those countries may not be able to resist their customs to the end. Your Majesty, just like the pseudo-Zhou promoted Buddhism in Bangladesh and other places, wouldn't it be resisted by the local people?"

Gu Yanwu specifically mentioned the pseudo-Zhou founded by Wu Sangui. Although Wu Sangui was dead, the pseudo-Zhou still stood in India and even fought repeatedly with the Mughal Empire, and of course they all had their own victories and losses.

"But they also revived Buddhism in the local area? Even the local natives changed their surnames to the Han surname, and many people began to speak Chinese. Ning people, you should know better than me. As a conqueror, assimilation in customs and religion is the necessity of ensuring rule."

Although he had no good impression of the Wu family's pseudo-Zhou, Zhu Mingzhong had to admit that Wu Sangui was very good at learning. On the one hand, he learned the Eight Banners system of the Qing Dynasty, while on the other hand, he learned the local people in the South China Xia Dynasty and the Mughal methods, forcing the locals to make changes in customs and religions to protect his ruling foundation.

"But your Majesty, doing this will inevitably arouse the resistance of the locals."

Speaking of this, Gu Yanwu paused and said with concern.

"For the Ming Dynasty, the resistance caused by expansion will eventually become a burden for the Ming Dynasty, leading to the unstable frontiers of the Ming Dynasty, and even assimilation may fail..."

"fail……"

Zhu Mingzhong said with a smile.
